Minor Arcana - The Page of Pentacles

The Page of Pentacles is an image of a young apprentice studying hard to learn a skill, or perhaps a new job or trade. He has tremendous curiosity and confidence and pursues objects of the physical realm in order to understand different realms of knowledge, as well as develop potentially financially viable skills. The intensity with which he gazes at the Pentacle suggest being present with his physical senses and also being honest, curious and objective about practical reality. He is not concerned with his own subjective impression, like perhaps the Page of Cups is; instead he actually invested in discovering the true nature of the reality around him. Find something you are genuinely curious about. You will work to a higher standard if you are doing something you are actually fascinated by. Do not perform work that bores you to death just for the sake of a paycheck.

You may need to develop a new skill, trade or area of expertise. Be studious, inquisitive, diligent, persevering and self-motivated. Find a good teacher and apprentice to him or her. This card may represent some one in your life who embodies these qualities of curiosity, fascination, diligence and pragmatism, or some one who is newly embarking on a course of study. It may be advising you to do more research, or more preliminary logistical work in the situation you are asking about.

The card may also represent a gift, including money, if we take the card to be literally showing some one embracing a cherished possession. In more esoteric cases, the Page of Pentacles may indicate a new appreciation or exploration of ritual Magick, earth spells, homeopathy or natural phenomena.
